Populate Product custom variables using variable in address

[tjintersta1777]

My client is wanting to be able to populate custom data in a product page to include information contained in the link.

Say we send the customer the following link: http://magentostoreblahblah.com/productpage.html?VAR=DATA

Then the product page loads with DATA pre-loaded in the VAR field.  

Is this possible?  And what would it take.

Thank you

Hi @tjintersta1777 

Override product detail page file with your theme.

And add following code to get value from url:

echo $this->getRequest()->getParam('VAR');
